I promised redpanda this recipe, and enough people starred my summarized recipe that I thought I’d post it. I got it from a magazine like “Cottage Life” about 20 years ago, and it’s one of my go-to recipes for potlucks. Makes 8 cups. 2 cups/500 ml small pasta (bow ties, rotini, whatever) cook as per package instructions

1/2 lb /250 grams fresh asparagus, cooked in boiling water for about 4 minutes, or your preference (I’ve used snow peas too, so it’s flexible as to vegetables)
